For some reason, the dates Microsoft have given us for the next few Deal of the Weeks run from Tuesday to Sunday - making it more of a Deal of the not-quite-a Week... Either way, discounts are good. Just be glad you're not Brazillian - they get Risk: Factions again.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1
Was: 1200 Microsoft Points (about £10.20)
Now: 800 Microsoft Points (about £6.80)
Sonic's an old man now - at 20, he's roughly five times older than any hedgehog you'll see in your garden. Maybe that's why his latest game is so much more money than the others - he needs it to supplement his pension in today's dire economic climate. In his most recent game, after defeating Dr. Robotnik and his Death Egg in Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic thinks everything's back to normal, with Robotnik finally defeated. Little did he know, Dr. Robotnik survived, and is back on his tail - with improved versions of his past creations. So, it's up to Sonic to stop him again.
Microsoft's Deal of the Week is only for Xbox Live Gold subscribers - Silver members will not be able to take advantage of the discounted prices. Approximate value of Microsoft points in pounds is based on buying the points direct from Microsoft through the Xbox dashboard - equivalent price in pounds will vary depending on where you bought your points.
